2013 NFL DRAFT RANG'S GANG: OG: Matt Summers-Gavin, California, 6-4, 310, 5.49...Summers-Gavin entered the 2012 season viewed as a possible top 100 prospect but fell off the radar after a nagging knee injury limited him to just seven starts in his senior campaign. Gritty, versatile and a competitor, he's going to make some team look brilliant by finding a future starter on Day Three. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com

Sounds like a ZBS/pulling guard according to nfl.com. Hope he makes the team.

Did we pick him up in UDFA? Seems like we are definitely looking to create a more mobile offensive line. That could mean the end for Levi Brown. Nate Potter is a far more mobile player than Levi.

I watched some games over the past couple of days from 2012 and the number of times I saw Bobby Massie used as a pulling Tackle was surprising._________________

Yeah, sorry. Thought I specified. UDFA pickup. We also picked up Dan Giordano out of Cinci and Korey James out of Wyoming according to nepatriotsdraft. Both OLBs. Can't find anything on James, but here's Giordano's scouting report from NFP. Don't think he makes the team.

I can't see us dumping Levi or else we probably would have already, and I do think there was something to all that love Arians heaped onto him when he got here, but it does seem like we're going to a ZBS-style line which is the absolute worst fit for him.

If I had to guess, we keep Levi for the year and try to force a square peg into a round hole just because we don't really have anything else (assuming those rumors/reports of Potter being moved to guard prove to be true), ditch him next off-season and find our ideal blindside tackle then.

I remember seeing a few "experts" or posters list Summers-Gavin as a sleeper pick. He dropped due to an MCL sprain in 2012 but before that he started a lot of games at Cal and they run a very sophisticated offense. He's played LG and RT at Cal (We have so many LG right now). He has experience practicing against a 3-4 defense since that's what they ran at Cal. The guy has T-Rex arms though (29 1/4").

I definitely like the move to more mobile lineman. It helps with pass protection a lot. And since we seem to be getting guards who are not only athletic but pretty stocky as well (Cooper, Watford), we won't lose much in the run game either. I would have liked to have seen Omoregie Uzzi picked up for the same reason.

If I had to guess, we keep Levi for the year and try to force a square peg into a round hole just because we don't really have anything else (assuming those rumors/reports of Potter being moved to guard prove to be true), ditch him next off-season and find our ideal blindside tackle then.

Though looking at what we have at tackle (Massie, Potter, Brown) and what we have at guard (Colledge, Snyder, Cooper, Watford, Kelemete, Summers-Gavin et al)

I would suggest the movement of Potter to Guard is but a distant memory.

I think the staff new the spot they had to target was guard and were looking at how to fix it; Move guys like Potter/Massie inside, grab a tackle in the draft was one option. It seems to have played out that with the addition of two guards in the draft that move is not going to happen._________________

Hard to believe Watson, Kelemete or Potter couldnt beat out a 31 year old Adam Snyder. We keep Cooper at LG and cuts Colledge/Snyder giving us the flexibility to easily extend PP and maybe Roberts._________________mike23md

The idea of Potter/Massie moving into Guard always seemed like a smoke screen to me. Neither of them really fit well on the inside and outside of Levi are the only two to get any real Love from BA. I think Guards were always the plan.

Nah. There was way too much about us loving Fisher coming from everyone for that to be the case.

There was never a chance of Arizona landing Fisher they had to know that.
